Introduction to iOS Development in C#

Let's take a step back from cross platform and focus on one platform: iOS.

Xamarin.iOS (http://www.xamarin.com/ios) enables us to write native applications that take full advantage of iOS's large number of libraries - from the user interface to motion processing, graphics, audio, cameras, sensors, networking... This incredibly rich software platform runs all day long in the pockets of hundreds of millions of people. When you couple it to .NET, you have a programmer's dream environment.

So let's learn to program iOS! In a little over an hour we will:

• Browse through iOS's APIs to find interesting bits of functionality

• Explore the architecture of UIKit - the user interface framework for iOS

• Use Xamarin Studio to write and debug applications

With this introduction you will have enough knowledge to write your first application that can use all the richness of iOS and all your favorite code written in .NET. Oh, and it will run on beautiful devices too.

Speaker:

Frank has been programming professionally for 16 years and has enjoyed the last 6 years doing independent development for iOS and other mobile platforms. As an early adopter of Xamarin.iOS he has also enjoyed being a member of the Mono community and does his best to share what knowledge he has gained. He lives and works in Seattle and can be found up a mountain off exit 34.
